Saw a guy trying to return a half-eaten sandwich at Walmart

I was grabbing a quick snack at the Walmart in Flagstaff last Tuesday and this dude walks up to customer service with a Subway sandwich that was clearly missing two bites. He tells the cashier it tasted weird and he wants his money back. The cashier just stares at him for a solid 5 seconds, then asks if he has the receipt. He pulls a crumpled one out of his pocket and she actually processes the return. I stood there watching like a moron for 2 minutes because I couldn't believe they took back a sandwich that was half gone. The hot takes on this sub are wild but nothing beats watching someone return food they already ate in real life. Has anyone else seen a return that made you question everything about common sense?

Take it from someone who used to work customer service at a grocery store. That cashier was probably just tired of dealing with angry people. Store policy usually says no returns on opened food, but managers often let it slide to avoid a scene. I had a woman try to return a half-eaten rotisserie chicken once because she didn't like the seasoning, and my boss just refunded her to get her out the door. It's honestly the easiest way to shut them up, even if it makes zero sense. The sandwich guy probably knew the trick too, that's why he had the receipt ready.
